March TrueTrends: Shortest and Longest Days in Inventory

March 16, 2011

Subcompact cars, sport cars, and small cars are where the best potential inventory-based discounts will be seen. On average, subcompact cars are staying in inventory for 95 days, while sports cars and small cars are on-lot for 92 days and 83 days respectively. SUV’s overall are moving off the lots quickly. Luxury SUV’s have an average inventory stay of 36 days, Midsize and Small SUV’s at 43 days, and Large SUV’s at 51 days.

TrueCar ranks the vehicles that spend, on average, the shortest and longest days on the lot before they sell. We rank by both overall shortest / longest days in inventory and by category. Vehicles that spend little time in inventory are typically in high demand, while vehicles that spend an extended time in inventory are in low demand.
